Faith in Action: Church-Led Efforts Restore Hope and Resilience in Chimanimani

 


In a powerful demonstration of faith translating into action, the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC), in partnership with Act for Peace (AfP), recently conducted a joint monitoring visit to Runyararo in Chimanimani district.

The visit focused on engaging with project participants and gathering feedback on the impact of various recovery initiatives. Community members shared moving testimonies of their journey toward healing and restoration following the devastating effects of Cyclone Idai in 2019.

What once seemed like overwhelming loss is now being replaced with renewed hope and visible progress. Improved access to clean water is easing daily challenges, particularly for women and children, while interventions at Runyararo Primary School — including WASH facilities and secure fencing — are creating a safer and more conducive learning environment for over 100 pupils and their teachers.

Livelihood restoration efforts, especially through livestock support, are helping families rebuild their sources of income while strengthening food security within the community.

Key infrastructure developments such as a newly established police base and a Waiting Mothers’ Shelter are bringing vital services closer to the people, enhancing safety, healthcare access, and protection for vulnerable groups.

Through the Strengthening Protection, Resilience, and Preparedness Programme, ZCC continues to embody Christian values of compassion, service, and restoration. Implemented in Chimanimani Ward 7 with funding support from Act for Peace and the Australian Government, the programme is fostering stronger social cohesion, renewed faith, and a spirit of unity among community members.

As residents, local leaders, government, and development partners work hand in hand, there is a growing sense that, through faith and collective effort, Chimanimani is steadily rising from the ashes—stronger, united, and full of hope.

Clothed In New Life...

 THE WORD IN 60 SECONDS


with Major Kudzai Marime

CLOTHED IN NEW LIFE 


“He has clothed me with garments of salvation…” (Isaiah 61:10)


After Easter, we may still carry burdens that feel too heavy, too stained, or beyond repair. But Jesus didn’t just rise - He came to restore. God invites us to lay aside the old and be clothed in something new - His grace, His righteousness, His peace. We don’t have to hold on to what He has already taken away. Today, let go - and let Him clothe you again with new life.


Prayer:

Lord, help me to lay aside the old and walk in the new life You give. Amen.

THEME: BETRAYAL TURNED INTO BLESSING

  

By Reverend B Chinhara


“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” (Genesis 50:20)


In Joseph’s powerful declaration, we see one of the clearest revelations of God’s sovereignty. His brothers acted out of jealousy and hatred, selling him into slavery and attempting to destroy his future. Yet what they meant for evil became the very pathway God used to elevate Joseph into a position of influence, where he could preserve countless lives during years of famine.


This truth still speaks today. People sometimes plan harm, through betrayal, lies, or rejection. These actions can leave deep wounds. Yet many who have been targeted by such evil often rise with powerful testimonies. Their pain becomes preparation, and their setback becomes a setup for something greater. God does not waste suffering; He transforms it.


The ultimate example is Jesus Christ. Betrayed, mocked, and crucified, His suffering appeared to be the victory of evil. Yet through His sacrifice came redemption and salvation for the world. What looked like defeat became eternal victory.


Joseph and Jesus both model the heart we are called to have: trust in God and forgiveness toward others. Joseph forgave his brothers. Jesus forgave even those who crucified Him. Forgiveness does not deny the evil, it declares that God is greater than it.


When betrayal comes, hold onto this truth: God is working behind the scenes. What was meant to break you can become the very thing that builds you. In God’s hands, even evil is turned into purpose, and betrayal becomes blessing.


To God be the glory
